At least you picked up a few relics. :yes: With the onset of cooler weather you may start to see even more activity at those sites. :confused:

Great relics.

Just being in those kind of history rich areas would be exciting for me.

It's a fascinating type of hunting you cellar hole dwellers do.

Congrats and good luck on getting coins on your next hunt.

its a plain , thinned squared frame , not very curved and just a tad smaller than what were use to . plus the tongue is designed different from the pitchfork type so i say its more of a 1740's to1760's era buckle than later varieties , Dave . :peace:

ok thanks dan. thumbsup01 that's what i thought, that this style was a bit older than the majority of what we dig.
